@immatthewj I ordered from AliExpress as they have the lowest prices as @perkri said. Viva tubes has them, but the price is about $100 more. The expected delivery is March 8th. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Thank you for your replies my friends. So, let me get it right, I just need to replace 1, 2, 4 and 5 slots as I only use unbalanced cables? Also @pinwa Did the Linlai tubes fit and how do they sound in SLP5?  I really appreciate your giving time ...

Low buzzing through speaks
I know my post will not help you, but I have the same exact issue you are having. I tried everything that you did but the buzz does not go away. As it is only when you get your ear close to the speakers you can hear it, Eventually I decided it is ...

Yes, when I got my A21 I put in all Hi-Fi tunning fuses which made a difference in sound for the better. I got an AudioQuest Niagra 1200 recently and loving it. Just wanted more.

Nice and refreshing. Brings an honest taste to the taste buds. Keep drinking the non-Kool aid. No one cares.

I bought it years ago when they still made power cords.  
Linlai 6SN7
atmasphere. Good to hear that. I saw a video from Kevin at Upscale Audio that if tubes run cool then one needs to worry. Naturally I needed to confirm that. I do not know why if tubes run cold we should worry.  
Linlai 6SN7
invalid. All my tubes run very hot except for Linlai. Could the tubes be an issue? They sound really good though. If anyone running these tubes in Supratek can check and let me know that would be great.  
Linlai 6SN7
jasonbourne52 My Psvane and TungSol tube run very hot only the Linlai are cool to the touch.
